[quote=Anonymous]I’ve posted before about my mother who’s been dealing with anxiety/depression issues. We haven’t been allowing our DC to visit with her alone because of her unpredictable behavior (fighting with my dad, crying, talk of death/deceased family and pets.) It recently came out that she’s been undergoing psychiatric care after an incident in which she destroyed some things at home after a bout of anger with my dad. Still undiagnosed officially, it’s clear she has some sort of mental illness, and we will have our turn to tell our story with her doctor soon.

I think access should be extremely limited, absolutely no alone time. She’s now violent and on very new medication. I haven’t even seen her in person since my dad delivered this news. However, now that it’s all out on the table and she’s working with a doctor and it’s “not her fault”, she thinks everything should be fine. I have no clue what to do here. My dad thinks I’m being dramatic and cold (as I said in another post, he tends to defend her, he has to live with her.)

Please reassure me I am doing the right thing limiting visitations. I’m sort of lost here. [/quote]
